Dual ATI Tuner Issue

[sub]

I'm learning as I go here, but opened the lastgraph.grf file in the GB-PVR directory and noticed it was using "Encoder" in place of "ATI AVStream MPEG2 Multiplexer". Replaced "Encoder" with the new filter and played the graph and all was well.

Hope this helps any.

This is normal. Whatever the name of the encoder filter is, after it is loaded, it is added to the graph with the alias 'encoder'.

I was just playing with this. When both cards are enabled in Device Manager, I see two. Loading the filters shows one for board 1, one for board 2 as I'd expect. If I disable either card in Device Manager, it goes down to only one (again as expected).

Ok, I may have accidentally fixed my problem, but want to make sure this isn't going to cause lots of other issues with the software.

Question:
What does the setting "AutoDetectEncoderMethod" in config.xml actually do?

As I was going through the settings, I noticed it was set to a value of 2. Being curious, I simply changed it to a 0. The error in the logs of not finding the filter disappeared, and I can now record two shows simultaneously, record one while watching LiveTV on the other, etc. Is this something that should be happening or a total fluke?

Cool. Glad to hear you got it working.
